Abstract
Pneumatics and hydraulics represent well-developed technologies where components are available from a wide range of suppliers in modular form, enabling the engineering design to specify a bespoke system for a particular application. Pneumatics and hydraulics are useful for the actuation of diverse elements from brakes and valves to robotics and machine tools. This chapter introduces both technologies and the associated principal components.
